Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to clarify the concepts of immanence and transcendence which play a decisive part in Husserl’s foundation of Phenomenology. We shall base our investigation upon the five lectures delivered at Göttingen in 1907 under the title The Idea of Phenomenology,1 which were first edited by Walter Biemel in 1950. In addition to the text of the lectures, Biemel’s book includes a summary of them written by Husserl for his own use. In this paper I shall employ both the text of the lectures and the text of the summary.

Notes
We quote according to both the English translation: Edmund Husserl, The Idea of Phenomenology, trans. W.P. Alston and G. Nakhnikian, (The Hague; Nijhoff, 1964) and the original German text: Die Idee der Phanomenologie, ed. Walter Biemel, Husserliana II, second edition (Nijhoff, 1958). The first figure or figures in brackets refers to the English translation; the second one(s) refers to the German text. We often had to modify the translation.
We quote according to both the English translation’ Martin Heidegger, History of the Concept of Time, trans. Th. Kisiel (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1985) and the original German text: Prolegomena zur Geschichte des Zeitbegriffs, ed. Petra Jaeger, Gesamtausgabe 20 (Frankfurt am Main: Klostermann, 1979). Again the first figure refers to the English text, the second one to the original.
Cf. our essay: ‘Heidegger and Husserl’s Logical Investigations’ in Jacques Taminiaux, Dialectic and Difference (Atlantic Highlands, NJ: Humanities Press, 1985), pp. 91–114.
